Polaroid Tattoo Style

POLAROID

POLAROID TATTOO
A Polaroid tattoo is a reproduction of an important photo. Whether it’s a family portrait or a vacation memory, the photo is usually inserted inside a Polaroid-style frame.

WHAT CAN BE MODIFIED?
The image can be modified while still maintaining the original shape of the photo.
You can work on the background, which can be a landscape or a set of objects related to the time of the shot or the characteristics of the people.

ARE POLAROID TATTOOS UNIQUE?
Yes, Polaroid designs are unique and made to measure based on the customer’s requests; they are therefore not replicable.

WHAT IS THE “3D EFFECT“?
As you can see in the gallery, the subjects of the photo can also “come out” of the frame, creating a sort of three-dimensional effect and accentuating the movement.
I believe, in fact, that it is important to create dynamism, in order to avoid making the design static and banal.

WHY ARE FACES OFTEN NOT REPRODUCED?
In many cases, faces are not reproduced, both for stylistic reasons and for the sake of the tattoo healing process.

WHAT IS THE SHAPE OF A POLAROID TATTOO?
The shape of this type of tattoo is square or rectangular.

WHERE ARE POLAROID TATTOOS BEST PLACED?
The ideal body parts for Polaroid tattoos are definitely the arms or legs.

BOOK YOUR APPOINTMENT

If you’d like to get a “story” tattoo, please send me a list of no more than 7–9 elements, each accompanied by a brief description and, if possible, a reference photo.

I kindly ask you to include concrete and objective elements: abstract concepts such as feelings or emotions are difficult to represent visually, as they are too subjective.

It’s also important that you describe the atmosphere you’d like to convey (e.g. nostalgic, adventurous, noir, etc.).

These projects are typically done in black and white, with medium dimensions, approximately 14–18 cm in height and 7–11 cm in width.

The design will be shown on the day of the appointment, so we can review it together in person and make any necessary changes. The entire day, from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM, will be dedicated exclusively to your project.

If you’re interested in a different kind of tattoo, please describe:

• the subject

• the placement on the body

• the size

And, if possible, include reference images.

Once I’ve fully understood your request, I’ll be able to provide an accurate quote and estimated timeline.

⚠️ If you don’t receive a reply within 3–4 days, please make sure to check your spam folder.
